Help with Lookup Please - Multiple values error

Hello everyone, I was hoping someone could help please

 

I have 2 tables, they both have a title column and a name column.  I would like to put an additional column in one of the tables that checks if the title matches in both tables. 

So for example, if the title is in both tables against someones name, it would say Assigned. If its missing in one of the tables it will say Missing.

 

So I could look at John for example and know what he is missing in a single column.

This is what I currently have, but get the error. Could anyone help please? Thank you
